A couple of new additions
 
It was just my birthday on June 11th, and I received a couple of gifts for my car.

First is the honeycomb lower grille from silver horse racing...

And I also got the dash completion kit from silver horse racing...

I'm not sure how I feel about the dash completion kit. I only installed the center console piece. I thought it was going to be brushed aluminum for the price ($109), but it's like a rubber material.

What do you think?

Very nice! If I may, it seems that the lower trims panels aren't completely snapped in.

I know... they are all the way in but there is some play. I'm going to find a way to fasten them better. But I also want to get the agent 47 brake ducts... so we'll see what comes first.

:nice: on the SHR grill.

Not so sure on the console/dash completion thing. Kinda looks obviously....stuck on there? I guess it's cool that it would prevent wear on the top of your console, but it wouldn't be my preference.

:nice: on the SHR grille insert, makes the front look "finished" rather than like Ford forgot a part.

You know, I never thought that it look bad or that Ford forgot a part. The GT/CS bumper, aka SGT bumper, just reminded me of the open mouth on the 65-66 GT350s.

For added security off the track though, I understand you're point.

I've also noticed fewer dinged fins with it there to catch some of the road debris.

+1. And when I installed mine, there was not play in it at all. Make sure you snap those side pieces in firmly and that there's no broken tabs on them. Looks good! :nice:

After reading this, I went back outside and tried to get rid of that gap, and it won't budge. I dunno what's causing it. I didn't really have time to get under the bumper to see what I could do, but maybe I'll be able to get to that today.

So I installed some hid's last weekend and I ordered some hoen xenon match halogens which came in today.

Buuut... I ordered h11's and not h10's! So now I have to send them back and wait for the h10's to show up. Crap.

On a different note, I love having hid's. Such a big difference in light, plus it makes me feel like I'm driving a higher end car. I definitely recommend them.

Later!

Here's a cool pic I took with my cell phone in downtown Houston.
